IoR guidance on cylinder storage

UK: The Institute of Refrigeration has published a new bulletin providing guidance on the storage of all cylinders used by the refrigeration industry, including A1, A2L and A3 refrigerants.

The document has been written by a subgroup of the FETA A2L Working Group as a signpost guidance document following members questions about storing A2L refrigerants. 

The information covers a practical approach to storing all cylinders used by the refrigeration industry, including A1, A2L and A3 refrigerants together with other products such as nitrogen, oxygen, and acetylene. 

The IoR stresses that the document is intended to supplement a location specific risk assessment with helpful information, not replace it.

It is available from the IoR website, free to members and £6.00 to non-members.
